The Fight in Illinois: Alan Keyes vs. Barack Obama

HUMAN EVENTS ^ | August 24, 2004 | Phyllis Schlafly

[Zeroisanumber]

Carpetbagging is hurting him, and Obama's feelings on reparations sound reasonable next to Keyes' "No Tax" approach.

[IncPen]

Blago just signed Carville to consult his lame governorship. He's scared about something and I bet it's Keyes. Of course it could be that he's lame too.

Blago is the son-in-law of Daley coatholder/city councilman Dick Mell. Blago has delusions of the presidency.

He's a ham-handed lunk... I wager his ambition will be torpedoed by his own party (those not beholden to King Richard II)

[IncPen]

Does Illinois not have any conservatives living in the state? How could a landslide take place unless the entire state is filled with liberals?

Illinois is the home of Corrupt Cook County, and the Dems hold both houses of the Illinois Legislature, the governor's and attorney general's offices.

The AG is the daughter of the Speaker of the House (Dem Leader) in Illinois.

The governor is the son in law of Mayor Daley's Chief Hack on the city council.

Now. You tell me...

[malakhi]

I hope that the Republican National leadership has the brains to pump in every available dollar to the Keyes campaign.

They won't. Expect them to direct funds to races where the candidate has a real chance of winning.

[kristinn]

So the woman who beat the liberals and their ERA when everyone thought it was a slam dunk is on crack? OK.

[EveningStar]

If she wasn't on something then making a sweeping general statement like this certainly indicates that she wasn't thinking clearly:

Those who want a leader, regardless of race, who will speak up for traditional values such as marriage, life, and education choice, will vote for Alan Keyes.

And those who don't vote for Keyes are against all those things?

[EternalVigilance]

And those who don't vote for Keyes are against all those things?

Yep.

[Howlin]

You're back? Such a surprise. Not.

[Abcdefg]

Phyllis Schlafly is too conservative for some people here. I like her. I like Keyes, too. As for the alleged "no tax" statement, I would have to see it to believe it.

[Aquinasfan]

Some of Keyes' fans may be as nutty as he is.

Please explain how one of the greatest living exponents of conservatism is "nutty."

[EternalVigilance]

I said I wouldn't post as long as the Keyes-haters had a free hand. I didn't.

Our host has made it clear that he doesn't want the anti-Keyes rhetoric here.

That's good enough for me.

How about you, Howlin?

[swheats]

This is awesome, Jim Robinson and Phyllis Schlafly endorsing Keyes on the same day.

[EveningStar]

Has Jim stopped giving a free hand to people who attack and slander conservatives or are you back by popular demand?

[Howlin]

I'm not bashing Keyes; I'm bashing you. Whiner.

[EternalVigilance]

Take it up with Jim.

[Howlin]

I was called a traior, were you? Oh, and anti-Christian to boot!

[Jim Robinson]

How about taking a break?

[EternalVigilance]

I was simply explaining why I'm back after a one day hiatus.

Have a nice day.

[Howlin]

I said I wouldn't post as long as the Keyes-haters had a free hand.

So, people who disagree with Keyes have to be muzzled?

Good to know you can't defend yourself without hiding somebody.

[EternalVigilance]

Later.
